Amongst the many events I run is a monthly get-together for those in the alt/goth crowd, it's always a good time. Because we're silly, we call it Goffee - because goths + coffee..I always like to experiment with my makeup, and go a bit spooky, because, well, why not!

My love of duochrome eyeshadows continues, at the moment I can't get enough of the purple Wicked eyeshadow from Concrete - with the purple streaks currently in my hair I've been wearing more purple makeup, and this is a subtle but glowy option :)

I went with a double wing - the very dark red gel eyeliner that I've been favouring lately and some peacock coloured Siren's Song as well.

Of course I had to go vampy with my lip, because I knew I'd be eating and drinking I went with the liquid lipstick for a stay-there base and topped it up with Noir Red for extra shine and dimension.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a blogger event called "Glamour Affair" not too long ago, and one of my favourite parts of the day was a visit from the team at Lush. They made, right before our eyes, a fresh face mask product for us to take home.

It's the Cupcake Face Mask, and it smells like chocolate heaven. It even has real chocolate in it! But you can't eat it.. instead you can smear it on your face.

It's really quite a fetching look, I must say!

It feels a bit like a mud/clay mask on the skin, not surprising considering one of the major ingredients is Rhassoul Mud.

Having been to Vietnam and back for work recently I've definitely not been as nice as usual to my skin, and it as responded by getting oily and breaking out a bit so this is just what the doctor ordered, I think.

I really enjoyed using this - it was like having a very indulgent chocolate treat, but one that was nice to my skin, instead of the usual result of eating a lot of chocolate!

This is one I will definately be keeping an eye out for in the lush store.

There is nothing more likely to grab my attention than a gorgeous red dress.. this one is made of neoprene, which is what's making the skirt hang so beautifully, really showing off that amazing asymmetrical hem.

Of course I had to find out who made it and if it was available, and my search yielded the very pleasant result.

Its a gorgeous brand called Nakimuli. They're based in the US but they do ship internationally (hooray!) Their sizing goes up to a 3X which they describe as a US 22-24. All the clothes are modled by both straight size and plus size models which is a lovely touch. The styke of the red dress is called the "Mambo" dress, and it certainly looks like it'd inspire the wearer to dance, don't you think?

I also liked this wrap jacket:

The "Mambo" style also comes in a skirt as well, in some lovely prints.

And this is an adjustable swimsuit that can be worn all sorts of ways:

People love PBLC - their lipsticks have amazing, hard-to-find colours, and the formulation is that wonderful combination of great opaque colour that lasts really well, and a lovely moisturising effect for the lips.

I have real trouble keeping them in stock at Beauty Bohemia which is exactly the kind of problem you want to have, really.

Here's a roundup of their colours. These were all taken in natural light, with a "regular" application of lipstick (not one sweep, not packing it on):
